These decorations feature nine permanent portraits of the greatest Senators as determined by a Senate committee. These portraits are placed in massive and ornate golden frames.[2] Senator portraits{{United States Senate}}In 1957, a Senate Committee headed by then Senator John F. Kennedy was tasked to decide on the five greatest U.S. Senators of all time so their portraits could decorate the Senate Reception Room.[3] John C. Calhoun (South Carolina) and the two others from the "Great Triumvirate" of Congressional leaders, Daniel Webster (Massachusetts) and Henry Clay (Kentucky), were included as well as Robert A. Taft (Ohio) and Robert M. La Follette Sr. (Wisconsin). In 2004, Arthur H. Vandenberg (Michigan) and Robert F. Wagner (New York) were added. In 2006, Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth both from Connecticut were added, changing the group's informal name to become the "famous nine".[3] References1. ^{{cite pr|url=https://pascrell.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/full-house-passes-pascrell-legislation-authorizing-ceremony-to-honor|title=Full House Passes Pascrell Legislation Authorizing Ceremony to Honor Constantino Brumidi|publisher=US House of Representatives|date=July 29, 2015|accessdate=May 15, 2018|deadurl=yes|archivedate=May 16, 2018|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180516014720/https://pascrell.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/full-house-passes-pascrell-legislation-authorizing-ceremony-to-honor}} 2. ^{{cite book|author=Shaw, John T.|year=2013|title=JFK in the Senate: Pathway to the Presidency|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vdNWAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT15|publisher=Palgrave McMillan|page=15|isbn=978-0-230-34183-8}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Famous_Five_Seven.htm|title=The 'Famous Five'|date=March 12, 1959|publisher=United States Senate|accessdate=January 23, 2019}} External links{{Commons category|United States Capitol}}
